i’m done with what was left of psychiatry! now i’m starting my neuro revision. there are sooo many lectures i only studied once and never looked back at… hopefully i still remember them ));

and the exam’s at 9 AM, so i’m hoping to finish revising everything in all four subjects and still sneak in a few hours of sleep.

tbh, i’m hella nervous with the exam being tomorrow… but i still can’t believe i’m this close to summer vacation. i seriously need 3rd year to be over already.

No one can make me shut up about how Abba's "The Visitors" is so IRVING AND BURT CODED

I think I have a good job. I am a certified nurse assistant. I take care of the elderly in a nursing home. It is not easy to take care of the elderly sometimes because some patients have dementia, weakness, and psychological illnesses. They get confused and anxious. In my opinion, you have to have a kind and patient heart with them. You also need to have a humbled heart. As a nurse assistant, we have to clean the patient. Clean them like change their diaper and clean their room because infection control is a thing. Shower them. Feed them. Give them companionship. I also have noticed that taking care of the elderly has helped me respect my parents more. Also think of God more. I like to pray with the patients because some patients love it when I pray for them. So, I like this Bible verse how God says we need to respect the elderly. God knows everything we do. Nothing is hidden from Him.

We have an inpatient with old dog vestibular disease. The good news is that this is treatable, and these guys usually recover quickly with just supportive care! But as someone who gets vertigo, I always feel so sorry for them because that feeling is the worst @.@
